Pharmacy

Medication safety is a key priority at Waterloo Regional Health Network. That’s why for Patient Safety Week 2017, the hospital is actively encouraging patients to ask the following five questions about their medication when they see their doctor, nurse or pharmacist.

Waterloo Regional Health Network’s retail pharmacy will undergo a big make-over, but we’re still open to serve you. The hospital owns and operates Health Care Centre Pharmacy, with its net proceeds supporting patient care. 

Waterloo Regional Health Network and the University of Waterloo School of Pharmacy hosted an appreciation reception yesterday at WRHN in celebration and acknowledgement of the teaching and research partnership between the two organizations.

With hundreds of patients and thousands of medications at a hospital, a great deal of care is needed so each patient gets their correct medication and correct dosage; this is a measure that pharmacy technician Goran Petrovic looks after. 

Care providers at Waterloo Regional Health Network’s emergency department have a new harm reduction tool to help save the lives of people at risk of an opioid overdose.
